Judge in Tiger Woods Case Explains Yelling “FORE” Just Before Crash Not a Valid Legal Defense
FORE, FORE, FORE, FORE, FORE!
EXCLUSIVE - A judge in the Tiger Woods DUI case has made it clear to Woods and his legal team that yelling "FORE!" just before flipping a car holds no legal bearing.
Woods pled not guilty to DUI charges, but claimed the reason is because he screamed "FORE!" before he lost control of the car. The golf icon even brought in a witness who claimed to "hear screams" preceding the noise of the car crash.
After the judge said the "fore" defense would not hold up in court, Woods’ lawyer presented a separate case as legal precedence: Air Bud v. Referee. "Does it say anywhere in the law that yelling ‘FORE’ does not absolve you of a DUI?" asked Woods’ lawyer.
The judge then explained Air Bud v. Referee is not a real legal case, and asked Woods and his team to leave the building.
The case is ongoing.
